It is a common misconception that braces are just for kids, but adults can require them as part of their treatment for a variety of reasons.
Your Smile Situation
Braces are now cheaper, better, and less obvious. Perhaps your family couldn't afford them when you were younger. But as an adult, you may now able to address these issues. There are also translucent alternatives, such as
Invisalign, that are less noticeable.
Healthy teeth can move at any age. Even if you have had braces before, teeth can move and crowd over time. Crooked and crowded teeth are not strictly a problem for young people, but for everyone.
Possible Issues
Addressing tooth and mouth issues can help avoid health issues. Some alignment issues can make it difficult to brush and floss, causing increased
plaque and food buildup. This could contribute to gum disease.
Misalignment could also contribute to tooth decay, tooth wear, and even jaw pain. Your orthodontist can provide you with treatment for misalignment and bite issues.

Your orthodontist can help determine any tooth alignment or bite issues that you may have and provide a means of correcting them. Are you interested in Invisalign?
